Bain compressed the whole of ethics into one compendium: the theory of ethics, the ethical standard, and a remarkable survey of moral systems from the ancients forward. The great Scottish psychologist brings his scientific temper to questions usually left to intuition. A reference work that reads like a course. Ethics, systematized.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
